Most of the time if I make a Windows XP boot USB via Rufus it boots fine in Windows 8.1/10 mode using GPT and UEFI selected. It has an option of either Windows 8.1/10 32-bit mode or Ubuntu 64-bit mode. I have tried it out (the ISO) in virtualbox and it works just fine - in legacy mode naturally. The computestick does not have a legacy BIOS option sadly, So simply changing to Legacy BIOS in the BIOS is not an option.

The computestick I am using for this wonderful experiment is the STCK1A32WFC. But there has to be some type of way of doing this! A lot of my very very old programs will only work in XP and I purchased these computesticks for that single purpose - installing windows XP on. Problem being is that it just wont boot into the windows xp setup at all naturally because its UEFI only. I have added the needed SATA drivers in order for it to find the SSD inside it. I understand that when Windows XP was out there was no such thing as a UEFI boot. I currently own a Intel Computestick model which has an atom processor and 2GB of ram. Hey all I have been at this for several months now.
